Sloppy OC

Chances are it wasn't the holster's fault entirely...

Crappy belts are generally responsible for the floppiness.

Of course, crappy belt + crappy holster is a recipe for disaster.

Good point. I think the belt is 50% of the battle to secure and comfy carry.

you mean hook and loop fasteners?

I say Yeah, Yeah!

That's embarrasing.

But, he's probably a member here!!! LOL.

About a year ago I saw a guy with a 1911 in his back pocket...speechless

I bought a Galco carry belt a few months back. Best carry decision I've ever made. You really can't find durability and quality like that in clothing stores who sell belts.

Galco holsters; Holsters; Gun holster, pistol holsters, western holsters, shoulder holsters, leather holster and Glock holsters

Worth every penny.

I saw a guy at Menards in Lafayette this weekend who had a small semi-auto tucked between his belt and pants, and a pink rubber band doing something.

I didn't get too good of a look, and no picture. Anybody want to own up to this?

Nice. Rubber bands have great retention.

I would like to thank all the posters for a great laugh!

Having said that, this really is a serious issue. It is NOT just a fashion mistake. Carrying a gun is a great responsibility and sloppy, possibly unsafe carry is bad for the image of carriers and the safety of the people around them.

I was once in a Meijer grocery store when I saw a man about 5' 4" and he was completely round in shape, carrying what can only be termed a Hog Leg in a holster so floppy that it was slapping his calf as he walked and almost scraping the floor. The only reason his shape was important was that there was NO WAY this man could access his weapon without either bending over to snag the swinging holster or asking a kind passerby to retrieve his weapon for him. It was, however, eminently accessible to passersby.

I have no problem with this gentleman carrying a gun if he is lawful and capable. However, it sure would be nice if people considered safety and image in their manner of carry.

It was the shoelace thing.
